Woman's Work

Tracy Chapman

Woman's Work

Early in the morning she rises

The woman's work is never done

And it's not because she doesn't try

She's fighting a battle with no one on her side

She rises up in the morning

And she works 'til way past dusk

The woman better slow down

Or she's gonna come down hard

Early in the morning she rises

The woman's work is never done
